Dressing for D.C. - message from Marlene

[Guest guest]

Because it is going to be a long day on the 18th, it

has been suggested that women wear comfortable shoes

or sneakers. Unfortunately, we are judged by what we

wear and what we say in Washington. It has previously

been suggested that conservative clothes be worn, no

flashy jewelry, and no gold shoes. I usually try to

wear a suit because I personally feel that if you

present yourself in a professional manner you are more

likely to be taken seriously. However, this is a

protest/rally so it is not necessary that suits be

worn - just something conservative and comfortable.
